…After our walk to the beach, [the students’] artistic pursuits were influenced by their appreciation of that glorious day. They were fascinated by the beauty of the landscape, both the grandness of it and the minuscule miracles they saw and captured through the lenses of their cameras. We were lucky to have chosen a chilly, but mostly sun-filled day for each of our groups of students. They ran all over the 77th Street beach [and] took photos with digital cameras…The results were…startlingly beautiful.
